Van Ness is not “thriving.”  There are more shuttered storefronts there than in Cleveland Park despite all of the scale and density of the Van Ness complex.  And your assertion that Chevy Chase DC’s small commercial area is doing so well is curious given that the Chevy Chase neighborhood is less dense than Cleveland Park.

The GreaterGreaterHogwash echo chamber may buy your argument but most people won’t.[/quote]

Other than the Walgreens, what are the empty storefronts? The market is being replaced, so please don't count that. The businesses there are doing well.

Chevy Chase has the advantage of being the only game in town for all the people who live between the Park and Conn. Avenue. Plus, unlike Cleveland Park, they have things like a toy store, and kids shoe store and a more active movie theater to bring people in at different hours of the day.[/quote]

Right? What empty store fronts? I also think it helped the Van Ness area to have Murch there for two years. That was a lot of family foot traffic. Most of those families love North of that area and many who used to go North for shopping and restaurants have 'rediscovered" Van Ness.[/quote]
